The saddest part of the whole mess is not that the Bush administration believes that the people it pretends to represent are not intelligent enough to see through such blatent tactics - it is that so many either apparently do not, or willingly agree with them in the name of The Party.

When reading here you reminded of the words of Buddha: Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true.

Charged after 6 years in custody.
Yes, interesting timing.
And they are seeking the death penalty. What a great way to re-ignite the 9-11 fear and whip the blood lust, about the only thing Republicans can count of for votes.
I for one do not support the death penalty for anyone, under any circumstances for reasons of conscience and ideals. Even for the 9-11 plotters.
In this case, however, I do not support it for more pragmatic reasons - all information about their guilt was obtained via torture. In a regular criminal court, it not only would be inadmissible, it would likely result in charges against those committing the torture.
We can’t look the other way on this. If they can torture someone into giving information that is then used to convict them of a capital crime, even people as seemingly heinous as these 6 defendants, then what stops them from doing the same to you or I?
Nothing.
